 Porcelain
is one of the most popular areas for collecting. There is a wide
variety to choose. People collect by style, decoration, factory,
country or shape.
If you want to start
collecting porcelain, where do you begin?
This new book by John
Sandon, well-known from the BBC's Antiques Roadshow, aims
to help you find your way.
Even if you are not
a novice porcelain collector, Miller's Collecting Porcelain
should prove invaluable.
The first twenty or
so pages are devoted to explaining the basics—what is porcelain
and how it is made, what is available and where to find it.
The book is then divided
up into the main collecting areas:
- Collecting by Style
- Collecting by Decoration
- Collecting by Maker or Country
- Collecting by Object or Shape
Within each of these sections,
it is further divided into more detailed areas, for example, Collecting
by Style includes Asian Porcelain and Its Influence on Europe,
the Classical Taste and Modern Taste—Art Nouveau and Art
Deco.
Within these, there are tips on
how to collect items in the categories and detailed information
on the various types of porcelain covered.
The final section deals with care
and display of your porcelain collection. There are also useful
pages showing porcelain marks and a glossary.
The book is beautifully illustrated
with 320 colour pictures showing examples of the various types
of porcelain in each category.
This
is lovely book for anybody who either collects, or wants to collect,
porcelain.
